Light-emitting diode lamp
A light-emitting diode lamp which can be directly inserted into a lamp holder supplying AC power can utilize a power supply unit in a connector to supply the rectified and transformed power to an emission board to enable the light-emitting diodes on the emission board to emit light. Since the power consumption can be greatly reduced by using the light-emitting diodes, and the power supply unit or the emission board is replaceable, respectively, the requirements of environment protection and energy-saving can be satisfied.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a LED lamp, and more particularly to a LED lamp whose emission board and power supply unit can be replaced respectively.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Light is an indispensible necessity for today's life, without it, many activities cannot be successfully carried out. Although conventional common tungsten-filament lamps are convenient and inexpensive in use, most of the power consumed by the tungsten-filament lamps is used to generate heat but not emit light, thus causing waste of electric energy. With the development of technology, energy-saving light-emitting diodes have been applied in the illumination field. The light-emitting diode not only has the advantages of small volume and rapid respond speed but also has the advantage of saving energy.
Referring to
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe primary objective of the present invention is to provide a LED lamp which has replaceable components to make the best use of everything, thus achieving advantage of energy-saving.
In order to achieve the above objective, a LED lamp in accordance with the present invention comprises an emission board, a tube body, a power supply unit and two connectors. The emission board includes a base board provided with plural light-emitting diodes and accommodated in the tube body. The two connectors are a first connector and a second connector which are connected to two ends of the tube body, respectively. The power supply unit is accommodated in the second connector and connected to the emission board and the second connector. The respective connectors include two inserting electrodes to be inserted into a lamp holder. After transforming and rectifying the inputted AC power, the power supply unit will supply the transformed and rectified power to the light-emitting diodes on the emission board to enable light-emitting diodes to emit light. When the emission board or the power supply unit is damaged, the damaged emission board, power supply unit or the respective components can be replaced with a new one, thus making the best use of ever thing and achieving the advantage of energy-saving.
The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
